Guest jim Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 There's a meat element in almost every meal I eat. Three (or sometimes four) meals a day, breakfast cereal being the only one without. Compared to you lot that probably sounds excessive. I can't really fathom going a whole day without eating meat at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 yeah i know what you mean. its like all these theists in my community that try to enforce their beliefs on others. its really arrogant and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 i've got nothing against dawkins or hitchens. i (much like them) have no respect for any religious institutions whatsoever. also they're intelligent people, they know what they're talking about and it's based on fact. what i meant about the everyday american atheist is that he/she tends to turn it into a "thing". so you don't believe in god, big woop.

foresense Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just try to go for eco or animal friendly stuff... never really come across local foods, and that's way too expensive for me anyway. supermarkets are evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 there's really no moral justification in eating meat nowdays, especially in first world problems countries, it really is as simple as troon said. luckily i have no problem with living through moral contradictions and enjoy glorious, meat infused, middle-eastern kitchen on a daily basis.

Lucas Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 i haven't eaten any meat over 10 years. though it's more of a habit by now than some sort of statement, it started out as this animal rights thing but yeah, blah, it's not that big of a deal, and i can't fucking stand people who gets all militant and in your face with their beliefs etc, even if i agree with them (like american atheists for example, or people who's been vegan for 5 weeks, or fucking bike activists). also, people who are vegan/vegetarian and can't laugh at crap like this: i agree with data moralistic vegans are the worst i mean i am practically vegan thanks to lactose intolerance but i dont ever want to claim i am because i have only ever known one vegan who wasn't an annoying racist piece of shit i feel the same way about irritating atheists (not narrowing that one to american atheists because fucking richard dawkins and christopher hitchens) I understand your point, but in the other hand if nobody starts to fight against how the things are going on, it'll get worse. And the more natural way it could change is that people realise how it works and reduce their consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Maybe we need to reduce the population, not the amount of meat being eaten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep trying to fix the negative impact humans have on the planet, might as well just stop it at the source. lol Tonight, in honor of this thread, I'm not having meat with my meal.

Guest zaphod Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Fucking bacon man. If I didn't need bacon I'd be a vegetarian, maybe even a vegan. Fuck dairy. But bacon. Shit. Bacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I do like to go to vegan restaurants from time to time. I'd never stop eating meat, but I do like to live viacriously through my emaciated veggie peers one meal at a time. Just do what works for you. I respect vegans who do it for practical reasons stated in the original post and still cover all their bases nutritionally. They've done their homework. But at the same time, life is short anyway so I'm gonna eat ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

data Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This compilation of excerpts is intended to demonstrate, on the one hand, the obvious depravity of the claim that Richard Dawkins is a sexist, misogynist, male chauvenist pig, and, on the other hand, that in fact the evidence shows that he's been rather overtly pro-women and sensitive to women's issues throughout his life and career. I'm sure there is plenty more material that could be added here, including from his books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 he's certainly not as bad as hitchens was but fact is he knows that the community he has helped build is full of sexist pricks and outright denies it rather than trying to do anything about it pisses me off but i am admittedly super sensitive about that shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 im referring to the legions of neckbeard shitheels that worship the ground dawkins and hitchens walk on and are just as openly misogynistic as the muslims they constantly harp on about.

Last time i did though it was a hanger steak soaked in garlic butter and jesus fucking christ was it good. But an incredible steak has nothing on a freshly fire-roasted eggplant + tahini on a pita. That is transcendent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
